Curcumin Turmeric Root Extract 275 mg

Kirkman® offers a unique water soluble curcumin (containing 20% curcuminoids) ingredient, in Curcumin Tumeric Root Extract (275 mg) that makes this product highly bioavailable. Curcumin is the ingredient in the turmeric root that offers excellent health benefits. In fact, the turmeric root has been harvested as a health remedy in many parts of the world, dating back to 2000 B.C. Turmeric is part of the ginger family and has a deep, vibrant yellow color when used in supplements or in cooking. Turmeric is still a staple in Indian and Asian dishes but extracts of turmeric yield a compound far exceeding the content of the common spice. More recently, research regarding curcumin has exploded. Researchers have confirmed that this ingredient works on multiple pathways at multiple levels of those pathways all simultaneously. Some of the health benefits that turmeric and curcuminoid products are believed to support include: antioxidant activity mood support joint support tissue soothing may aid in blood sugar balance or control may help to maintain healthy cholesterol and tri-glyceride levels if already in a healthy range. Bioavailability is key to receiving the full health benefits that a curcumin/turmeric root supplement has to offer. A typical turmeric root contains two to five per cent curcumin, so when the curcumin is not properly processed for solubility, commercial supplements can lack the amount of curcumin required for optimal health benefits. Kirkman uses curcumin that has been processed with special technology called "Ultrasol™" to water solubilize the curcuminoids, which significantly increases its bioavailability.
